Chaparral’s Callahan commits to Auburn Tigers

So Chaparral’s tackle verbally committed to the Auburn Tigers on Saturday.

This is a score for the Tigers — Callahan, 6-foot-6, 280 pounds, is rated a four-star player by multiple services and there really haven’t been that many Coloradans headed to the Southeastern Conference.

In an e-mail to The Denver Post, Callahan indicated he toured the facilities, met other recruits, talked with coaches and had opportunities to explore the school’s engineering, mathematics and science departments.

Ideally, Callahan wrote, he wants to graduate in December from his high school in Parker so that he can enroll early at Auburn.
